Duh!  At that point, I had read a handful of messages talking about it.  How 
does saying "your Claudia post" signify that I had seen it?  All I had seen 
was your post(s) talking about how it hadn't appeared yet!

And, dude, I've gotta say: you have some *severe* contextual comprehension 
issues with my posts. Not that I've never been snarky, or sarcastic, but I 
sure haven't been AT ALL in this particular thread.  I'd say, "When I'm 
snarky or sarcastic, you'll *know* it...but apparently you won't.

So *what*? They probably didn't suggest that because I've made a point over 
the years of saying that I moderate several times a day, every day, which was 
true up until Feb. 2 of this year when I went in for my shoulder 
reconstruction, and then got lax/lazy. It *still* doesn't mean anyone is 
purposefully looking for *your* messages and dumping them.  Which, by the 
way, is seriously self-centered; no one is that interested in you or your 
posts. There are definitely people who have posted here in the past that 
might make someone look for and read their posts carefully in case they need 
hand moderating, but I don't think you're one of them.  And in NO case would 
we just dump a post, anyway! As someone pointed out earlier up the thread, if 
we bounce something it *automatically generates a reason and emails it to 
you.* Automatically. So you'd know if you were bounced, assuming you can 
receiving email from the modbot (which I think you have to in order to be 
registered in the newsgroup).

No idea. I remember Mac Breck being ticked off at me for something I said 
about the book series, but I have no clue / no memory of this.
